In this paper we have discussed what mergers and acquisitions are and how they are a part of any organizations strategic planning policy. Organizations ‘merge’ generally with similar organizations or ‘acquire’ weaker organizations, and the essence as to why they do so is that the value of two is greater than one. They basically merge with or acquire each other’s strengths and try to overcome on...

High-resolution numerical simulations of galaxy mergers are analysed. The global structure and isophotal shapes of the merger remnants are in good agreement with the observations. Whereas equal-mass mergers lead to anisotropic, boxy ellipticals, unequal-mass mergers result in disky and isotropic systems. The line-of-sight velocity distributions show small deviations from a Gaussian distribution...

Thresholds defined on the level and change in the HHI (HerfindahlHirschmann Index) applied to market shares seem to be the main instrument to select notified mergers for investigation in both the EU and US. We question the use of such a selection rule in differentiated products industries. We propose the use of a structural approach to apply HHI thresholds based on profit shares rather than mar...

Retention of nurses is essential to manage turnover costs and nursing shortages. An area that has remained relatively unstudied is the impact and success of inpatient nursing mergers. A single site qualitative descriptive triangulated case study research design was developed to explore the overarching strategy in an intra-hospital merger of clinical units that included leadership tactics and st...

In order to explain disk galaxy formation within the hierarchical structure formation, it seems that gas rich mergers must play an important role. We review here our previous studies which have shown the importance of mergers at high redshift being gas rich, in the formation of both the stellar halo and thick disk components of disk galaxies. Regulation of star formation in the building blocks ...

Massive young clusters (YCs) are expected to host intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) born via runaway collapse. These IMBHs are likely in binaries and can undergo mergers with other compact objects, such as stellar mass black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs). We derive the frequency of such mergers starting from information available in the Local Universe. Mergers of IMBH-NS and IMBHBH bi...

We present the results of a Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based optical and near-infrared study to identify progenitors of spirals and ellipticals at z > 1. We identify these systems through photometric and spectroscopic redshifts, deep Kband imaging, stellar mass measurements, and high resolution imaging. The major modes of galaxy formation, including major mergers, minor mergers, and accr...
